My Review‼️🏠
The house was perfect. That was its first lie.
When Megan and her husband Patrick accept an invitation to spend the summer at a luxurious house share in Stone Beach, Connecticut, everything seems too good to be true. The rent is absurdly low. The host, Mrs. Monahan, is attentive to the point of unease. The other guests are pleasant — until they aren't.
One day, Megan sees a boy, Tommy, playing… and the next, Tommy is simply gone. Not moved. Not spoken of. Erased, as though he never existed. All the other guests at the house look at Megan blankly when she asks.
One by one, the guests succumb to long hours in front of the television in a glassy trance. Patrick grows cold and distant. Something stirs in the attic.
Megan alone seems immune — but for how long? As she begins to doubt herselfand the house tightens its hold, she must confront the terrifying truth about Mrs. Monahan, the attic room, and the price of a perfect summer.
I really enjoyed reading this book, which drew me in from the very beginning. It tells the story of Megan & her husband, Patrick, who rent out a shared summer house, for the summer, & at first, everything seems so perfect; too perfect, - almost too good to be true, then, starting with a little boy, one by one, the other people staying at the house start dissapearing, - with their entire existence wiped out, so that no one else remembers they ever existed, apart from Megan. She enlists the help of some friends to help her put a stop to the house, it's TV system, - which seems to play a major role in brainwashing the guests, & there's a lot of electromagnetic energy at the house, which is suspected as masking what is truly there, & allowing people to see only what they are meant to see.
I'm not going to say any more about the story line, as I don't want to give any spoilers, & this may sound like a little sci-fi mixed in, - which I guess it does have to a certain extent, - but as I always like to read Mysteries, & Phschological Thrillers, I'd deffo say that this book is much more 'Mystery' than full of sci-fi. I really enjoyed reading this book & it was a compelling read from start to finish, - it only took me two days to read! = so was a very compelling read! 👌
Based on a rating of 1 - 10, where 10 is the highest, I would rate this book a 7 out of 10. As I've said, a very enjoyable & compelling read, & just a little bit different, but believable. It's deffo a book that I would recommend, especially if you like a good mystery!
